# Clocks, Clocks, Clocks!

As the title suggests, this article is about clocks. When I initially plugged in my Gold Card, and Minerva ROM version 1.89 (which I had received at the same time), I suddenly had three external clocks (the third being the QIMI Mouse Interface with clock), all trying to work at once. This created an immediate problem with spectacular crashes.
